About:
Through an upcoming single-source award from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD), a selection of Trainees and Training Directors from the AUCD network members will conduct COVID-19 vaccine outreach with the disability community as part of a larger effort, Local Vaccine Outreach with the Disability Community. Successful applicants will propose innovative message delivery streams and local modalities to reach people with disabilities (including individuals not connected to service delivery systems), their families, and Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), with the overarching goal of boosting COVID-19 vaccination rates in the disability community.
Eligibility:
All AUCD Network members affiliated with a UCEDD, LEND, and/or IDDRC in any state or territory are eligible to seek assistance through this process. Multiple Trainees from one AUCD Network member program or center may apply. Members of AUCD's community of practice on vaccine confidence are eligible to apply. Areas of low vaccine coverage will be prioritized.
Award:
Up to 40 AUCD Network members, either Trainees or Training Directors, will be selected to receive a $5,000 flat-fee award for a period beginning October 1, 2021 through September 21, 2022.
